Our junior program encourages girls 18 & under (and current year high school graduates who have not yet turned 19) across the state to compete with girls of their age and/or caliber. We do follow the USGA rules at our events. At each event we teach the girls a few rules at the number one tee and at our rules meetings. On the course there are times where we help with rulings, and we do our best to make the events fun and stress-free, as well as fostering excellent competition. A handicap is not required to play in most of our junior events, although it is encouraged. KWGA offers free handicaps for juniors. You can obtain a handicap through your local club.

Junior girls are eligible to play in the KWGA State Amateur Championship (if their USGA Handicap Index is 25.0 or less) and are also welcome to participate in most KWGA Special Events!

Junior golfers are encouraged to register for a GHIN handicap and enter their scores to obtain a current handicap. KWGA and USGA GHIN do not charge for junior golfers for a KWGA GHIN handicap. The Junior golfer must go through the Ladies Golf Association at their home club. KWGA would appreciate the Ladies Golf Association allowing the Junior golfer to use their association in order to maintain a KWGA GHIN Handicap. The Junior golfer's birthdate is required when entering her name as an active golfer on the computer list. Please contact our KWGA Handicap Director if you have any additional questions about obtaining a handicap - handicap@kwga.org

Please join us this season for a variety of Junior Girls events! We are looking forward to seeing YOU!
